Description
A quick and easy one-skillet meal featuring tender chicken, soft gnocchi, and a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and gnocchi. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until gnocchi are cooked through and tender.
- Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
- If you don’t have heavy cream, you can use half-and-half, but the sauce may be thinner.
